Oral surgery: Radicular Cyst Expansion over a 10-year Period – A Case Report

Abstract: This article aims to illustrate and discuss the risks of failing to treat a radicular cyst appropriately. Here we report a 23-year-old male patient who sustained dental trauma to his maxillary anterior teeth on more than one occasion. The changes involved with the patient’s dentition and expansion of the radicular cyst across his maxilla, over the course of a decade, highlight the importance of early intervention and appropriate treatment.

Clinical relevance: This case report aims to alert clinicians to the risks of radicular cyst expansion, and the link between dental trauma and radicular cyst formation
